Lunar Strain — In Flames

For there is a purpose and reason Beyond all human apprehension The shrieking silence in the blackness of space

For there is a knowledge more complex Than life on this planet A knowledge in tune with the progress of stars

Lunar Strain

All across the milky way Life suffers defeat Life that once were treasured

What once was nothing Has blossomed into form Once it was I that was nothing But now they say I will die

All across the galaxy Life suffers defeat

Lunar Strain

From nothingless to reality As we see it From nothingless to life My dismal tears of anguish Bleed into one with the songs of my heaven Loneliness in pain

Emptiness his power, loneliness his pain Serenity his might Yet we shall be honoured In the starforsaken night

Astral strain All around my silent moon Life suffers defeat

Astral strain

For there is a purpose and reason Beyond all human apprehension The shrieking silence in the blackness of space
